Opinion of the FRA on the proposed protection reform package

This FRA opinion builds in particular on opinions published by the EDPS and the A29 WP which focus on data protection. It complements these by examining other relevant Charter rights. It focuses mainly on fundamental rights other than data protection, since the abovementioned opinions have thoroughly addressed this fundamental right. The FRA opinion looks at both the draft regulation and directive as part of one single data protection 'reform package'.
